The legacy of Mo Gaba, the Baltimore Ravens superfan who died earlier this year after battling cancer throughout his life, will be remembered near the team’s stadium.

On Wednesday, a three-block stretch near M&T Bank Stadium was dedicated to the memory of Gaba, who died in July at the age of 14.

Gaba became the first person to announce an NFL draft pick in Braille in 2019 when he revealed the Ravens’ fifth-round selection of offensive lineman Ben Powers. Everywhere Gaba went, he made friends with his infections laugh and upbeat personality, displaying tremendous courage in his fight against cancer.
Before this year’s season-opener against the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens honored Gaba with a “Mo’s Rows” section at the stadium featuring cardboard cutouts of Gaba. His mother, Sonsy, helped paint “BaltimMOre” in one of the end zones, with “MO” in capital letters.
